Why is it that so many people find New
York city fascinating From the frivolous
school girl to the thoughtful man of
science, few weeks visit to New York Is
something to be longed for, TO dream
about. Boston, worshiped by its resi-
dents as the one spot on the earth nearest
Paradise, has learning, but after all, New
York has more Of 1t. Philadelphia has
size, manufactures and wealth, but the
place Is duh, slow and monotonous COM
pared with New York. Baltimore boasts
of its old families and beautiful women,
but New York surpasses oven the Monu-
mental City in these particulars. New
York is the one great city, the metrop-
oils Of the Union. London, Paris, Berlin
and st. Petersburg are also metropolitan
and attract the money, the brains, the So
ciety, the fresh, strong blood of their re-
spective countries.
In New York you can meet any and
every one. The leading men of all other
cities spend much Of their time in New
York. Why, Because 1t Is here they
must come to buy If they want large
stock from which to select, If they want
the assistance of precedent, style, taste.
experience, etc. Here is to be found the
freshest and best Of all things from all
kinds Of markets, from literature and the
drama 20 the newest styles of mems and
women's garments. The wealthy, the
intelligent, are dependent upon New
York all over the Land. The jewelry they
wear and buy for wedding, birthday and
Christmas presents, is manufactured in
New York; the magazines they read, the
illustrated books which decorate their
tables are published in New York. They
come here to buy pictures, bric-a-brac and
clothes.-New York Cor Cleveland Leader

We suppose that no winter passes with
out causing a shudder in the breasts Of all
right minded people when they read in
the newspapers that thousands of cattle
have persisted from starvation on the wes-
tern plains. This particular form of
cruelty TO animals has seemed to be and
probably is beyond tine reach of law and
OF local public opinion. Nevertheless the
recent national convention of humane
societies at Pittsburg took the matter up
and delivered their opinions upon il in
very proper terms. They say truly that
nobody has a moral right TO bring into
existence a greater number OF cattle than
he can reasonably expect to find food and
some kind of shelter for in winter Yet
the practice is to estimate for certain
percentage Of loss by lingering torture,
and then trust TO the chances of getting
through the winter with better showing
animals reduced to system. Acts which
would be severely punished if committed
in the older states and visited with loss
of social consideration are the principal
trade and calling of large territories,
The suggestion OF the association was
that since the ranges are mostly on public
lands, unsettled by the emigrant, and still
less under the direct aud immediate con-
troll Of congress, II should be made unlaw-
full for any one 10 range cattle on public
lands without making provision for them
in winter by food and shelter.-New York

| Mr.. Harry Clements black geldinS
Joker, was led to the light and large but
harmless wooden gag was placed in his
mouth. DR.. Kelly now wiped out the
mouth carefully and began prodding
around the cups on the upper teeth. 1t
did not take long to prove that four out Of
the six needed attention, 50 with the
necessary burrs the decayed part was soon
removed, showing the good, sound part of
the tooth. The surface was then smoothed
| and the necessary notches or elbows made;
the nerve WAS neatly covered with a COM
position, and the real work of filling the
tooth began. Amalgam, q white metal,
was used, as it would harden quickly and
could be put in place by hand pressure.
The tooth was thoroughly dried, and the
composition pushed into the cavity.
II is necessary here to state that the
same care was used that the dentists ex-
erCise in filling tooth for q human being,
only in place of a rubber protector a
chamois skin kept all the moisture away
from the .ooth. The work Of getting the
filling in properly requires some care, and
unless great care is taken il will cause the
undertaking to prove q failure. 1t is Gus
tomary not TO fill the cavity up flush TO
the grinding surface, for the composition
would not last long against the surface
of the corresponding lower tooth, but TO
stop when, say, two-thirds through, and
then leave convex surface. This sur
face, when hard, is FURNISHED and
finished the same as gold filing
would be.
DR. Kelly, while the reporter was there,
filed four teeth for Joker, and it was
amusing TO see the intelligent little
gelding open his jaws and stretch out
his neck as II the removing of the de-
Cayed and the passing Of the file over the
good part gave him a great deal Of sat
isfaction. As soon as the job was
finished the horse was given a drink and
then led away to his large box stall,
where he quickly attacked the hay rick,
eating better, the groom said, than he had
for months.
This new science will be Of great bene-
flt TO owners Of horses generally, and
many cross and ug.y driver will be
changed into a quiet, docile animaL-St,

One Of Natures Revenges,

remember seeing Fred Archer when
he made flying visit TO this country two
years ago, and thinking what wiry, sad
faced half grown little chap he was. He
was i'll then, ill at heart, which is the
cruelest of all ills when one is young, and
| fancied Bend Or must have carried
extra weight when he won the Derby on
this account. That strained, wOebegOne
expression and sEowy checkerboard
ulster that accompanied it have always
been associated with the great English
horse races ever since. Very likely he
consoled himself, let us hope he did, at
least, and the OItrages of prolonged star
5ation, constant Turkish baths and riding
IN the teeth of a cold wind clad only in a
silk shirt and thin breeches were the
legitimate causes of his death. Neverthe-
less, though man fonts at nature, she can
he kind in being cruel. She allowed
Archer to slip out of the world.-Boston

In the spring, snow disappearing from
the ice, the seals are exposed to view. Then
the hunter takes another way Of getting at
them. First of all he notices the direction
OF the wind, and then, keeping his enemy
in it, walks to within 400 or 500 yards of
him. From there he begins to crouch down
and to advance only when the seal is not
looking. The wary animal is in the habit
of throwing up his head quickly every few
seconds and looking about, and so, when
within about 200 yards, the native lies
down fiat upon the ice. 1t is only now
that real sport commences. Seal takes
Eskimo, who is able 10 talk seal perfectly,
to be one Of his brothers, and, indeed, there
Is great deal Of resemblance between the
species, for the genus homo is dressed in
sealskin, and, living largely upon its flesh,
is similarly odorous. The two lie on the
ice for perhaps half an hour, keeping up
sort Of broken conversation, part of which
is conducted in the ordinary way, and part
by means OF peculiar gestures. until the
Eskimo has crept TO within about thirty
yards of his outwitted companion. The
animals eye, then being clearly visible, is
no sooner turned from the hunter than he
presents his rifle and fires. The seal, if
shot through the head, is killed instantly;
but if hit in any other place defeats his
enemy by disappearing through the ice

A Chance for Health

Is afforded those fast sinking into condi-
ton of hopeless debility. The means are
at hand. In the form of q genial medicinal
cordial, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters em-
bodies the combined qualities of blood
fertilizer and depurent, a tonic and an
alternative. While it promotes digestion
and assimilation, and stimulates appetite,
has the further effect of purifying the life
current and Strengthening the nervous
system. As the blood grows richer and
purer by its use, they who resort to this
sterling medicinal agent, acquire not only
vigor, but bodily substance. A healthful
change in the secretiOns is effected by it.
and that sure and rapid physical decay,
which chronic obstruction of the func-
tiOns of the system produces, is arrested.
The prime causes Of disease being removed,
health is speedily renovated and yigor re
stored
